Football is now a real hardship for many working class supporters, making watching your team a luxury!! Not sure our adult prices have changed much in all the years I've supported the club? |

I suppose another issue to throw into the mix is that this is the start of a transition to an all seater stadium as the Mem is redeveloped.
I agree entirely that the club should be attracting new supporters of all ages but particularly children.
In addition different ways of financing the purchase of S/T’s should always be available.
Perhaps there should also be a scheme where if you have purchased S/T’s continuously over a long period then you would be rewarded with a significant discount.
Another possibility is to offer a certain number of S/T’s for children at a very competitive and attractive price. It could not be open ended because we do not have a large enough capacity.
In spite of all the issues raised I think we will sale more S/T’s because of the South Stand.
6 of us have renewed in the South Stand today.

That would probably bankrupt Rovers given the number of long term fans. |

Transfer from Thatchers end to South Stand. Last season £199, this time £249. Fifty quid extra to sit down. Happy days. |

Wonder if we’ve spoken to Bradford to see how they cost cheap season tickets v match day sales with crowds regularly in excess of five figures?

Even with the crowds they get they still have plenty of room spare, plenty of scope for pay on the day if they do well. We are not far off capacity despite not challenging for anything. |

I wonder if their fans would sooner pay more in order to fund a promotion push? Bradford owner's just seem content for them to plod along in L2 whilst breaking even each season. |

Yea. Cricket is rubbish though. Wow, this must be the only 'REPEAT' only thing I have ever agreed with you on, better treasure this probably won't happen again And you’re both wrong! Fools seldom differ…. (A joke!) 👍👍👍👍 UTG! (and Somerset CCC). |

Perhaps then they aren’t making that much then given they’ve been in league 2 since 2019. |

Anyone know if season tickets can be sent as e-tickets by email
for each game? It’s a much easier way to pass tickets to friends or family when you can’t make a game.

I was expecting to only be able to renew my Thatchers End season ticket today, but purchased 2x season tickets for me and my dad in the new South Stand. Hope I’m not behind a pillar!

I presume every part of the ground is avaliable for season tickets?
Makes me think phase 2 won't be happening until the end of next season 🤔
